sc ute resto start
Thought I would post up the start of the build....
what a mess it was when it arrived......
lots of work to be done in the treasure area and new ribs to be welded in, I'm toying with the idea of having the rear half of the tray fixed but
then then front half towards the cab on gas lift struts and flush mount locks so you can open up to get inside the treasure chest from above., maybe
skin where the treasure chest door is located, any thoughts?

Jeez Ian, a bit of work ahead. How's the rest, cab floor, doors, screen, roof etc.?
The top hatch idea could work IMO, if a proper seal, gutter and drain arrangement is made. Water in there is just another rust trap. Maybe graft in a
T3 hatch. I'd definately keep the side door though, even put one in the RH side too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^yeah but a challenge is good right?... 
I'm kinda diggin the gas strut thang at the moment, spent a lot of time sitting in the chair looking at the ute today and I think it is worth a try.
You are right about the weatherproofing, siill trying to work that out.
Rust is ok, major areas are where I already cut out the ribs n such, floor pan will be all new. The main frame and rest is all good shape.Doors and
panels are smooth and ready for paint. All parts are arriving soon, so my 2 months off work will be doing guess what? 
Plenty of documentation pics also for future sale, really want a dual cab. 
>EDIT< Mr Berry, do you know the best place to find a windscreen and anyone that has put a sliding rear window in a cab before?.. I would love
to have a slider window but just depends on coin. Do need a windscreen though..

I'm doing up my dual cab bay over christmas and a full length lift up aluminium floor is part of the plans. It will give me access to a custom 120lt
fuel tank and the top of the engine which could be handy. Do what you feel like doing even if its not liked by purists

not the whole rear window, both sides are fixed glass and the centre (500mm wide) is a power window.... but come to think of it .. I like that idea,
a full rear window power winder...
really wanted to do the strut but this is a daily driver and proll will sell to find a dual cab as a real keeper.
Col was trying to sell my missus a water pumper while he was here today!!! pfffffft water

Window sounds cool. Dual cab and single cab are the same.

I got the POWER
worked on the power winder a bit today ...... I think it's going to work and now thanks to Mr Berry I am going to try to lift the whole window and
not just a section.
The winder came out of a falcon and was way too long so had to cut and shorten and reweld the pulley, changed the length of the cables to suit,
reshape the guide flat because falcon windows are curved.

Interested in the window rubber? Will you get one made? Simply cutting a slot to allow the window to go through won't work I would of thought judging
by with wiggling required to fit the rubber over the glass in a normal install..
Love the idea!

slow
only an hr or so today, most of the day was spendt collecting parts/things/steel blarghh blarghhhh...
reinforced the lower section with some 50X50x3 angle and more vertical reinforcing to be added,welding in anchor points for child seats also for
future buyers.
The cardboard mockup is for my cab extension or if you want to call it my tray reduction. Added an extra 200mm which will be a lockable space for tool
box n shite.
Tomorrow will be an all out welding day so hope to have some good progress shots tomorrow nite.
Today is my first day of holidays, so it's all out for four weeks....

cut it out
ahhhhh holidays.....
cut more out yesterday, and welded in more new steel. Painted it all in gal prime then hit it with tar mix paint.
Punched in new brake lines, had a bitch of a time getting off the drums, and don't mention the fuggin axle nuts...... the bastards were seized up so
there was a lil bit of screaming and yelling at inanimate objects around the garage for a bit. I should of put it on video and uploaded to metoobe
The brakes were houses to wasp nests and spider webs and looked like they had never been removed in its life....
So it's off to blow more cash today on cylinders and pads. Do people still machine drums or is that too old skool these days?
